Extraction of the EEG signal feature based on echo state networks / 生物医学工程学杂志

The performance of an electroencephalography (EEG) automatic detection and classification system mainly depends on the feature extraction of EEG signal. This paper analyses the advantages and disadvantages of the current EEG feature extraction methods, and then presents a new EEG feature extraction method based on echo state networks (ESN). The new method is a nonlinear method, and can extract the EEG features reversibly. Therefore, the information lost in the process of feature extraction is much less than that of the traditional EEG. Additionally, the realization of this method just needs to compute the pseudo inverse of a matrix, which keeps it efficient. Experimental results have showed that the new method could well accomplish the task of automatic detection and classification of EEG signals.

The relationship between single nucleotide polymorphism in the coding region of class Ⅱ transactivator gene and outcomes of chronic hepatitis B virus infection / 中华传染病杂志

Objective To investigate the relationship between the non-homonymy single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)of C19170G,C30799G in the coding area of class Ⅱ transaetivator(CII TA)and the different clinical phenotypes of chronic hepatitis B virus(HBV)infection.Methods Six hundred and twenty-seven patients with chronic HBV infection and 101 healthy blood donors were enrolled in this study.Genotyping of C19170G,C30799G in C Ⅱ TA gene coding region were done by sequence-specific primer polymerase chain reaction(PCR-SSP).Hardy-Weinberg balance of the genotypes was analyzed using chi-square test.Differences between two sets were tested by contingency table chi-square test and unconditional Logistic regression was performed. Results The frequencies of G allele and GG+GC genetypes at 19170 site were significantly higher in patients with liver cirrhosis than those with non-progressive liver diseases(X2=7.128,P=0.008;X2=6.404,P=0.011,respectively).There were significantly differences of the allele frequencies between patients with liver cirrhosis and non-progressive liver diseases(OR:0.742,95%CI:0.552～0.998,P=0.048),and the main differences were observed in G dominant model(OR:0.581,95% CI:0.353～0.954,P=0.032).The frequencies of C allele and CC genotype at 30799 site were significantly higher in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma than those in patients with liver cirrhosis(X2=4.861,P=0.027;X2=4.993,P=0.025).There were significant differences of the genotype frequencies at 30799 site between patients with liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma(OR:0.557,95% CI:0.334～0.930,P=0.025),and the differences were mainly observed in C recessive model(OR:0.491,95% CI:0.269～0.898,P=0.021).Conclusions The polymorphisms at 19170 site are associated with liver cirrhosis in chronic HBV infection,and the G allele carriers are prone to progress into liver cirrhosis.The polymorphisms at 30799 site are associated with hepatocellular carcinoma in chronic HBV infection,and CC genotype carriers are prone to progress into hepatocellular carcinoma.

Construction of the eukaryotic expression vectors containing different haplotypes DNA of human CIITA gene promoter IV / 重庆医科大学学报

Objective:To Construct the eukaryotic expression vectors containing four different haplotypes DNA of human CIITA gene promoter IV.Methods:Four haplotypes(CG,CC,TG and TC)can be constructed based on two single nucleotide polymorphism(SNPs)sites(G-944C and T-1350C)in promoter IV of human CIITA gene.The 487bp DNA fragments of CIITA promoter IV including the two SNPs were obtained by polymerase chain reaction(PCR)based on human genome DNA from the subjects with the CG/CG,CC/CC,TG/TG and TC/TC genotypes,which were TA cloned to pMD18-T Simple vectors and then were digested by restriction endonucleases Mlu I and Hind Ⅲ.After fragment recovery,those were ligated to four PGL3-Basic Vectors and four PGL3-Promoter Vectors respectively,which were digested by restriction endonucleases Mlu I and Hind Ⅲ as well.All recombinant plasmids were identified by sequencing.Results:Eight recombinant plasmids(CG-PGL3-Basic,CG-PGL3-Promoter,CC-PGL3-Basic,CC-PGL3-Promoter,TG-PGL3-Basic,TG-PGL3-Promoter,TC-PGL3-Basic,TC-PGL3-Promoter)containing four different haplotypes DNA of human CIITA promoter IV were obtained,whose sequences completely matched with the theoretical prediction demonstrated by sequencing.Conclusions:The eukaryotic expression vectors containing four different haplotypes DNA of human CIITA promoter IV are successfully constructed,and it lays the groundwork for the further study of different haplotype function.

Association between disease susceptivity of chronic HBV infection and SNP G-944C in CⅡTA gene promoter Ⅳ / 第三军医大学学报

0.05). Conclusion The polymorphism of G-944C in CⅡTA gene promoter Ⅳ was associated with the susceptivity of chronic HBV infection, but was not associated with severity of diseases. The individuals with chronic HBV infection of CC genotype are of less possibility to develop chronic liver disease than those of other genotypes.
